Every mum is different. Your breast shape is unique and can change throughout your breastfeeding journey. With our new PersonalFit Flex™ breast shield, you can easily adapt the way your Medela breast pump fits to help you find the most comfortable, effective, position to express.

A more natural pumping experience

When your baby latches on, he sucks quickly at first to start the milk flow, then more slowly to feed. Medela 2-Phase Expression® technology mimics these instinctive rhythms for a more natural-feeling and comfortable pumping experience.

Simple to operate, comfortable to use

Medela Swing has a very simple design and is extremely portable. It’s easy to assemble and take apart for cleaning so all parts can be sanitised quickly.

What is 2-Phase Expression Technology?

2-Phase Expression is a pumping technology that mimics the baby’s natural sucking rhythm. It uses short, stimulating bursts followed by longer patterns to provide optimal milk flow. Research shows that babies initially use short, fast sucks to stimulate the Milk Ejection Reflex. Once the milk begins to flow, babies change to a slower, individual rhythm to actually feed.

1. Stimulation phase - When babies first go to breast, they suck faster to start milk flowing. Pumping rhythm of >100 cycles/minute. Fast and efficient to start milk flow.
2. Expression phase - After milk flow or "let-down" starts, babies breastfeed with a slower suck to remove milk. Slower pumping rhythm of between 42 and 87 cycles/minute. Slower to mimic nutritive sucking with regular milk flow

Why Flex™ technology is different?

• The first breast pump shield designed to adapt to your shape – rotates 360°, four tunnel sizes, flexible rim
• Overflow protection (closed system) so you can pump sitting in a position that works for you
• Developed following four clinical studies and shown to improve milk flow
